These cute baby animals are baby bats left orphaned by floods in Australia in January 2011. The animal clinic looking after them bottle fed these babies and gave them a clothes line to hang on until they were strong enough to fly again. You can read more about the bats here and the kind organization that helped them here.

This is Tzvika. She was badly injured by a lawn mower but the veterinarians at the Wildlife Hospital in the Ramat Gan Safari, near Tel Aviv, gave her wheels. She has been buzzing round on them ever since. We think maybe it is those veterinarians that get the Cute Pics Award for this Saturday.

It mightn’t be for everybody, but Pets Who Want to Kill Themselves is a funny/sad look at pets – and more specifically at pet owners. People dress up their animals, and then the unexpectedly sad pictures are sent in for comment. Sometimes, things don’t work out as you had expected.
